Performance Improvement in Indian Manufacturing Industries after Implementing Green Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Green Supply Chain is used to reduce gas emission, solid waste emission, waste water emission, preserve the natural resources, decrease of consumption of toxic material, decrease the environmental disasters, better product quality and increase not only environmental performance but economic performance also. It reduces negative economic performance. Industries adopt various practices to improve performance. In this paper AHP is used for determining GSCM Practices and Performance with the help of parameters related to these. AHP has been conducted to get the importance of different practices (Internal environmental management system, Green packaging, Green purchasing, Eco designing, Internal recovery, Cooperation with customers) and to get the environmental performance, positive and negative economic performance in Indian manufacturing industries. AHP method has been applied to determine the priorities weightage of different parameters.
